Shunming Chapter 454 The Battle of the Corners (8,000 Words for a Monthly Pass)

Iron is the material for weapons and utensils. Salt is indispensable in people's daily lives. However, there is a lack of salt and iron in the grassland. The Mongol tribes were supplemented by trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Because the establishment of the Ming Dynasty began with the expulsion of Meng Yuan. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di launched the Northern Expedition many times. And then there were the changes in the civil fort and so on. They are incompatible with each other. Naturally, it is necessary to give some restrictions to the Mongols in the steppe at this source.

The trade in salt and iron was strictly controlled. A large part of the horses of the Ming Dynasty also came through border trade. In exchange for cattle, horses, and livestock, it was this salt and iron.

However, this ban became relaxed in the latter part of the Jiajing era. A large number of Shanxi businessmen have become rich because of this. And Mongolia is no longer worried about this scarce material of salt and iron. The Mongol tribes, which suddenly received such abundant supplies, also became stronger. At that time, there was a lot of pressure on the border gates.

Maybe it was a happy death. The decline of the wealthy Mongol tribes was much faster than that of the Ming Dynasty. After the end of the three major expeditions in the Wanli year. Originally, Da Ming was already extremely weak. But the Mongols are such border barbarians. But we don't have the same practice as these thousands of years. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Han state in the Central Plains, he invaded.

The only one that thrived. are also sedentary peoples. Manchurian Jurchen engaged in fishing and hunting trade......

Since the end of Wanli. Salt and iron for the various tribes of Mongolia in the steppe. It is already a common item like pasture. The price is not too high. At the end of the six-year period. The Mongol tribes, which had come to trade as usual, suddenly appeared. None of the Ming merchants who were trading with them at the Datong border were gone.

It is precisely because of the ease of obtaining salt goods and iron tools some time ago. The nobles of the tribes spent their silver money on the precious jewels. And not like it was a hundred years ago. Stock up on salt and iron at every opportunity. There are not many stocks in the various tribes.

Salt is a thing in Daming6 and has been turned upside down by Shandong's private salt. Not to mention in such a scarce grassland. In particular, the north of the Datong border pass is facing the land of Tumut Mongolia.

The Tumut tribe is a large tribe of nearly 100,000 people. 50,000 known as "string controllers". Of course, if it's really when it's time to fight. More than 20,000 cavalry. About 4,000 elites can still be pulled out. The Tumut tribe belongs to the kind that is too convenient because of salt and iron. So there are not many stored tribes.

There is also pond salt in Shaanxi. However, it was controlled by the Yilibari tribe of Western Mongolia. These tribes of the Western Mongolian land. Most of them are Mongolized tribes from the Western Regions. Both sides were called Mongolia by the Ming Dynasty. But it's really incompatible with each other. However, these tribes of Western Mongolia are quite strong in combat.

These wastes of Eastern Mongolia. It can't beat the Western Mongolian side at all. Naturally, it was impossible to get salt from there. The most unfortunate of all is the Tumut Ministry. The Tumut tribe was far less close to the Manchus than the two major divisions of Chahar and Korqin. Naturally, there is no way to get a supplement there. But he was on the front line against Simon. It's almost a situation where both sides don't rely on each other.

In the past, it was quite close to Shanxi Datong. Both salt and iron are in abundant supply. The Tumut tribe can even be sold to other small tribes. Make a fortune out of it.

Now this trade has been cut off. Don't say you can't make any money. Even one's own use is a problem. The guards at the border gates have also been tightened. I want to go to Datong Mansion to inquire about something. Often people are caught halfway through. He was thrown into a forced labor camp to be a cow and a horse.

Wait until the fifth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. The Mongolian merchants who were still in the place where they were ready to try their luck and the buyers of various noble lands all encountered the arrogant Ming caravan.

This caravan didn't look like the Shanxi merchants of the past. The face is raw. There is no polite humility of a businessman at all. just raised his head and offered a price. One is nearly dozens of times more expensive than usual. That's how it goes. Almost a pot. Ten pounds of salt can be exchanged for a horse.

Although the Mongolian tribes all live on animal husbandry. But there are so many horses and livestock in exchange. The tribes still have some accumulated gold and silver treasures. But all that money is in the hands of nobles. These salt and iron were shipped back. The herdsmen of each household should be divided equally. The ministry landed thousands of households. And make a lot of money in it. So expensive. Surely no one wants to buy it. The leaders of these tribes, the nobles. Of course, I don't want to pay in advance, which will definitely lose money.

Persuasion. The representative of the merchant who pleaded with salt on the grassland was relieved. It is said that there are not many goods this time. However, it will be distributed to everyone at a lower price. I will resolutely not let it go next time.

All the Mongolian merchants and buyers who meet at the right time. They all divided up this batch of goods. These high-spirited Daming salt merchants made an appointment with everyone again. Said he would come back next time. There will also be a little more goods to be brought.

Under the questioning of these Mongolian merchants and buyers. The fresh-faced Daming salt merchants also revealed a little bit of tone. It is said that the wind in the customs has been tight recently. The newcomer, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong, has not yet done a good job. Shanxi has been because of his severity. Poured a few firms. Everyone is careful and tight.

The grassland is also going to celebrate the New Year. Because of the shortage of salt and iron. The year of the Tumut Department has been quite bleak. From Tumut Khan to the hundred households below. They gathered together and deliberated many times.

The tenth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. On the last traded marketplace. Another buy and sell transaction was made. Maybe it's because the rumors of the last time have spread on the grassland. Except for the Tumut Ministry. And the tribes that got the news also came. While the price is still cheap. Buy more.

Salt goods and iron tools brought by salt merchants who claimed to be merchants in Taiyuan Prefecture. It was quickly sold out again. Price or something. It's much higher than usual. But it is much cheaper than the previous price, which is dozens of times higher. Now so many people come to buy. It's a seller's market. You don't buy someone else and do it. Such a good business. Let the shopkeepers of a certain business in Taiyuan Mansion smile widely. It's all about bringing more goods next time.

The Thai Thai Thai company proudly flaunts with the Mongols who come to buy goods. said that the shopkeeper of their family had already caught the line of Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong. Buying and selling on the steppe. It's almost monopolized by their family. Although the gang of people who came to buy salt and iron accompanied by smiling faces. Extremely gracious.

But my heart is secretly complaining. Even now, the price has increased nearly tenfold. For hundreds of thousands of people and tribes. It's also a high price that I can't afford.

Because of the price. Now the ministries are not daring to spend money to buy too much. But these necessities are missing. In the tribe, too, chaos will gradually arise.

After this business is over. Tumut Khan sent a letter to all the tribes of more than 1,000 people in the vicinity of Datong. Invite the nobles of all tribes to the Golden Horde of the Tumut Ministry.

Despite the high price of salt. But people still have to eat salt. Business still has to be done. The border people of Western Mongolia and Shaanxi are still fighting with each other over the ownership of this pool of salt. The occasional spooky of salt doesn't work. Seeing that he is about to be exploited by these so-called Taiyuan firms.

Perhaps it was because they knew that the amount of land sold would soon be used up by the tribes. The caravan claiming to be from Taiyuan Prefecture came to the grassland again on the 25th day of the first lunar month

Originally, such salt goods ironware. It's almost once a month. But the side is so frequent. It is clear that he wants to make money from the Mongols.

There are no waterways in the steppe. The goods coming from Taiyuan Mansion are all going to Datong. Exit the seed and then go to the grassland. The means of transportation are oxen, horses, and carts. According to the judgment of the Ministry of Tumut. It is impossible for these merchants to be in twenty days. can mobilize this batch of goods to go north.

There should be a warehouse on the side of Datong Province. It seems that the reason for the high price of salt is Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong. These Ming officials are greedy for money to the point of being remarkable.

February 15. This time there is a little more goods. The Mongolian tribes who came to buy more were more. It is obviously a situation where there are more monks and less porridge. And there were 10,000 households of the tribe of Natumit, and they set up their own tents to feast the leader of the caravan. Lamb wine. Glamorous maid. And there are some unseen benefits.

Confuse this caravan leader. It's a lot of things. For example, what is the name of this trading house, Lingshan Commercial Bank. It was a Shandong businessman and Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Datong, who jointly opened the land.

When the general soldier Chen Yongfu led the army from Henan to Shanxi. Shandong merchants assisted in the food and wages on the way. And he gave a lot of silver. As a result, the chief soldier Chen Yongfu was quite appreciative. This is a business house opened in partnership. Chen Yongfu also accounts for 50% of the shares.

The merchants of Shandong were all salt and iron. When I came to Shanxi, of course, I had a lot of conflicts with these local businessmen. Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong, also has the means. It directly forbade the financial resources of Shanxi businessmen. Put the profiteering business. It's all handed over to the commercial houses in Shandong.

And there are other things. For example, the shopkeeper said. In Datong City, there is a salt warehouse converted from a military warehouse. Salt goods stored inside. Enough to eat on the grassland for a year. Every time the goods come to sell. It's all about transferring goods from that salt warehouse. Shipped over.

After hearing the news of this salt warehouse, the ten thousand households of the Tumut tribe. Immediately, the eyes lit up. Persuasion of alcohol. Wait until you're full. The man said:

"The Tumut Department is quite a big one. If your firm can lower the price. Our Great Khan decided that we would buy the next year's portions......."

This sale is spoken. The shopkeeper was immediately frightened and drunk. One year's worth of servings. At this price. Even if it's lower. There will also be a profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Gee. Hundreds of thousands of taels. How much is the tax in a year in the Ming Dynasty? It is said that these Mongolian tribes have accumulated a lot of money over the years. It seems to be true.

Such a big deal. The shopkeeper will certainly not be able to be the master. You can only go back and report to the peak to decide. According to the opinion of the Mongols, who have dealt with the Ming Dynasty for many years. There is such a large sum of silver. Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Datong who joined the shares, will definitely let him go. If you don't know it, you will send soldiers to transport it together.

After the counselling in the Great Tent was over. It's another. It's really a pleasure for the guests and hosts. Under the escort of the Tumut cavalry. The shopkeeper of this Lingshan trading house brought his own men. Hurried back to Datong.

Really. Such a big businessman's heart. What's more, the Tumut Ministry also generously paid three hundred taels of gold as a deposit. Five days later. The Mongolian leader who was waiting for news on the steppe received the news from this trading house. It is said to be the fifth day of the third month. The first shipments of salt will be delivered to the grasslands.

The first batch of salt was 120,000 catties. Nearly two hundred and fifty carts. Hearing the news, Tumut Khan couldn't help but curse in his golden tent. These Han Chinese are so shameless. It seems that he is planning to make a lot of money from us Mongolians. Luckily, we were prepared.

On the first day of the third month. Except for Tumut's own herdsmen. The cavalry of the small and medium-sized tribes in the vicinity also began to converge towards the side of the Kai'er Sea. In the steppe the so-called Haizi. It's a big lake.

The two sides decided on the location of the salt cargo transaction. It is Maoerzhuang, which is one hundred and twenty miles away from the south of the Kaier Sea......

used a big deal to get out a large number of goods of the Ming profiteers. Grab all these salt goods. Let those profiteers lose all their money.

Count the gold and silver spent on these few businesses. If the first shipment is snatched back. It can last almost half a year. Spread it out. It happened to be the cost of buying salt in the past. It's just to make up for it. There is the weight of this half year as a support. I am not afraid that these Ming merchants in the customs will not reduce the price.

Tumut Khan had already planned it. Prepare to use these salt goods. Gather the scattered tribes everywhere. Let the power of Tumut be stronger, and the Han people who say that the Ming are cunning. But this time, I was tricked by my strategy.

The cavalry of the various divisions of the Kaierhai Assembly. The Tumut division is the main force. A full 18,000 cavalry was mobilized. The rest of the parts are added up in a miscellaneous mess. There were almost 22,000 cavalry.

For this operation. The Tumut tribe put the Golden Tent near Guanshan. They were all relocated to the side of the Kai'er Sea. It is for the nearest command and dispatch.

According to the counsel of Tumut Khan and the nobles of the tribes. After the 22,000 cavalry robbed the hundreds of thousands of catties of salt. Immediately send someone to pretend to be a man and a shopkeeper. Trick the switch port. Enter the customs and grab him once.

Now the Mongols are weak. You can't get into the customs at all. The last time I entered the pass, I followed behind the Manchu troops. This is the way to go to Datong Mansion to make some cheap. This time it should be mobilized. If you can take advantage of the chaos to break the pass. Loot once. Then gather the cavalry of all the divisions this time. But you can make a lot of money.

The so-called Mongolian cavalry. You don't really have to go to herding. There are very few full-time combatants. Tumut, a large tribe of nearly 100,000 people. There are only more than 4,000 such elites. The rest of the cavalry was mostly herdsmen with weapons to make up the numbers. There's a decent weapon. I've seen a few fight scenes. Naturally, it is the so-called strong army. There is no land. That's to follow and watch the lively servants.

There are many Mongolian herders who carry waist knives. He took a sharpened stick and used it as a wooden spear and followed. They are all pondering to divide two catties of salt. Or it is a large gathering of cavalry to enter the customs and loot to earn it. It was a complete out-of-law hustle. The soldiers and horses of those Tumuts and the big tribes are fine. Some are scattered herders. There are even horse bandits. It's a complete mess to follow the big team. Who went over there. It's simply unmanageable.

On the fifth day of the third month. After the envoy of the 10,000 households of the Tumut Ministry and the shopkeeper of the Taiyuan firm took over. It is said that the salt goods have been transported to Maoerzhuang. Just wait to go over and pay the money to receive the goods.

When they heard the news, all the nobles of the Tumut tribe laughed loudly. These money-hungry Han people finally took the bait. The cart was slow. As long as it is out of the border. To a place like Maoerzhuang. It is impossible to run beyond the cavalry. Already the prey in hand.

It was ordered immediately. The sound of the trumpet. More than 20,000 cavalry marched in the direction of Maoerzhuang. This is already considered by them to be in the bag.

More than 20,000 cavalry, this momentum is not ordinary. It's winter again. There is no vegetation shelter on the steppe. Dust obscured half the sky. You can see it from a long distance. But these Mongol cavalry were not afraid. Now the big convoy can't run even if it wants to.

The weather was nice. Arrived at the Maoerzhuang. This Pingsuri is a market for Han and Mongolian small traders and vendors. It has long been empty. But they saw the smoke and dust that covered the sky. I knew that a large number of soldiers and horses were coming. No one wants to wait here to die. But those hundreds of carts. Even if you want to, you can't run. Wooden wheels that are not very handy. And bad horses that pull carts. It's not like it's out of the way.

Wait for a large number of people to arrive here. It's really unsurprising. The more than 200 carts were parked in the open space outside Maoerzhuang.

See this scene. Each of the Mongol cavalrymen looked delighted. Never lived on the steppe. It's not knowing how important salt is to them. What exactly does that mean.

These carts are fully loaded. The outside is covered with tarpaulin. Stopped there in a mess. But look. The animals that were pulling the carts had already been unloaded. Presumably, it was to let the animals rest on the way back. Some of the Tumert cavalry joked loudly. It is said that these Han people still want to save animal power. Pull back the gold, silver and furs.

Agreed on the day. The money for this batch of salt. but to pay with silver and gold. It is also possible to mortgage livestock and furs. When we talked about it. The 10,000 households of Tumut almost did it on the spot. Because of the livestock and the furs. were all pressed to an unacceptable low price by the other party.

Everyone is ruthless. What about what you will do with business. Our descendants of Genghis Khan have robbed you all at once. and then sell people into slavery. There is nowhere for you to cry.

When the carts carrying salt came here, they all gathered together. Formed a circle. But I couldn't see the drivers and shopkeepers.

The cavalry slowed down. In front of the elite of the Tumut division and the personal guards cavalry under the Golden Horde. Everyone was carefully searching for the location of the shopkeepers.

It didn't last long. It's close. The clues are immediately apparent. You can see the other side of the cart. The gap between the carriage and the ground. You can see people walking around there.

See this. The Mongol cavalry all laughed. These Ming profiteers are really hiding behind the car. Thousands of households, hundreds of households. Shouting and shouting. These Mongol cavalry brigades slammed into the air. If you look down in mid-air. You can see that the cavalry formation, which was originally a triangle, suddenly opened up. Swallowed the convoy of salt goods.

The formation of such cavalry. All of them are ordinary Mongolian cavalry handles. Not unusually. But the cavalry who rushed to the front with their horses until they closed the large convoy. There is no gap in this big cart land. Look at the mess. But these big cars still circled in a circle.

After rounding up the procession of this cart. The cavalry looked at the people who were running in a hurry. They all turn the horse's head from all directions. Hit the horse and leaned over.

Since there is no space to enter. It's the same with getting off the horse and climbing in. The cavalrymen in the front row were already hanging their spears on their horses. Bite the saber. I'm ready to get off the horse and climb the car.

Slowly close the fence. The cavalry on the outlying lands almost all stopped their horses. It seems to be a big circle with this cart team as the center of the circle. The cavalrymen and horses were directed towards this large convoy. From the inside out. Gradually, the horse stopped. Around. It's almost quiet. The first row and the second row have already turned over and dismounted. Run forward.

It was at this time. The inner circle of the cart suddenly struck the gong "dang dang". Not a place is knocking. Ringing in almost all directions at the same time. It was like a torrential rain. Extremely urgent.

The sudden sound of a rapid gong. The relaxed Mongolian cavalry outside was taken aback. However, the cavalry in the back row were still dismounting. Get ready to go inside.

Just when the gong sounded. The tarpaulin covering the cart was ripped off at the same time. The Mongol cavalry appeared. The salt packets under the tarpaulin were placed on top of each other. That is, chest height. It seems that there is more than just salt packets on this car. There are also Ming officers and soldiers standing behind the salt bags and holding firearms.

The rapid and dense sound of gongs was already the sound that suppressed everything. The Mongol cavalry also panicked at the sound of the rain-like gongs. Bite a scimitar in your mouth. The Mongol cavalry who ran forward were dumbfounded. I don't know how to be good.

Suddenly. The gong stopped. The firebolt on the salt bag immediately opened fire. Just quieted down around the cart. Immediately it was muffled by a louder voice - the screams of the Mongol cavalry.

This is the case with the so-called central flowering. Around the cart were the Mongol cavalry, which was densely packed together. The fire shot was no more than thirty paces away from the target in front of him. Still condescending. Every shot. will hit the enemy. Bullet is nothing. That is, at this time. Rotational shooting. The musketeers who shot behind the salt packets finished one. The man behind immediately handed over a new gun with reloaded ammunition. The shots were almost continuous.

Even more unfortunate were the Mongol cavalry, who happened to be facing artillery. Every few big cars. There was a car with a cannon on it. Artillery can be placed on carts made of wooden planks. It certainly won't be any large-caliber artillery. You can shoot at such a close range. The power cannot be said to be small.

And because it has long been prepared. These guns are loaded with shotguns. Such a dense crowd. The shotgun was wielded to its fullest.

The place where the guns were fired was nothing but screaming. Where artillery fire can be. Not even a screaming person. Just in the direction of the sector of the artillery. After a loud bang. Directly it is to be shorted. All Mongol cavalry within range of fire were killed or knocked down.

Just now I laughed and said that the Han people want to save animal power. On the way back, he brought the furs and cattle to the land. He was one of the hundred households of Tumut Khan's Golden Horde. As such an officer. Naturally, we have to charge ahead.

After seeing that there is no danger. These high-ranking officer leaders are all ahead of the curve. Because rush in first. The more benefits you get. This is also their prerogative.

The hundred households of the Golden Horde came to a cannon without dying. He was still biting a scimitar in his mouth. I saw that the swarthy muzzle of the cannon was facing me

Following behind this hundred households, several people looked at the hundred households in front of them, as if they were watermelons. Golden Horde Guards. Another hundred household officers. He has iron armor on his body. He had an iron helmet on his head. But it didn't do anything at all.

Maybe the gun in front of it didn't have a good selection of shotguns. There is a relatively large piece of iron mixed in. The metal that shot out in a flash exploded into the head of the 100 households in front of him. There is no attenuation of momentum. A company pierced the bodies of several Mongolian cavalrymen behind them. There is also a good thing in the front. The back of the ground is wearing this leather robe

It's bloody. It's all miserable in the ears. Around the cart. In an instant, it became a hell on earth. It takes a lot of time for the artillery to change the refueling and re-fire. Ten shots were fired almost without interruption.

The Mongol cavalry in the front row was in such a crowded formation. It's completely impossible to run. Only the passive ones are wreaked havoc by guns. And those Mongolian herders in the middle. I haven't seen much of the market itself. Even if you know the power of Daming's firearms. I don't dare to bet on whether I am out of range.

And it's so crowded. Just now, everyone wants to enter the big convoy to make some cheap. lest it fall behind. But now I want to turn around and run. I can't get out.

When you run out, you have to jump out desperately. Not to mention whether the firearm can hit him. Tens of thousands of cavalry were agitated and confused. Slightly slower. You may be trampled to death. But everyone is so panicked. It only makes the restlessness more disadvantageous. There are also the Golden Horde guards. Most of the Mongol cavalry here were herdsmen who had survived the winter half a month ago. What's the discipline of that. What's more, Fang was killed at the front. It's almost all about being greedy for money. Take advantage of your high status.

People who don't have these constraints. The whole formation is even more in the direction of collapse. Moreover, the grassland is not a settlement. Even a large tribe like Tumut. It is also scattered into many small tribes in normal times. but the cavalry except those of their own tribe. Not knowing anyone else.

Seeing that the other party was blocking his way of escape. It started out as a scolding. Later, he drew a knife and slashed .......

The musket was fired ten times. Artillery shelled twice. Within 70 steps of the outside of the cart. There is no one standing anymore. None of the Mongol cavalrymen, who were already terrified, wanted to take advantage of the intermittent firepower of the other side to rush forward. It's all about running out.

If you look down from the sky. You can see that these more than 200 carts are actually arranged in a crooked square. The periphery is full of two rows of carts side by side. Except for the outermost ones, which are built up like a breastwork. The bezel on the car was also removed. There is no cargo. The soldiers loaded their ammunition on it. Pass the fire gun shot.

In the middle of the open space surrounded by carts, there is a wooden platform that has been renovated from carts. More than half a person taller than the surrounding cars. Auman. Garris was standing up there looking around.

And in the open space between the cart and the platform. But soldiers kept coming up from the carts. This square array of cars is on four sides. There are still doors that can be entered and exited. That is, two large carts that can move quickly.

Auman. Garris is wearing armor. Standing on the wooden platform, he looked around solemnly. Keep asking loudly:

"How far is it?"

"Fifty steps!" "Sixty steps!!" "Seventy steps!!"

It's time for "eighty steps". Auman. Garris shouted at the troops around the wooden platform:

"Each team reports the whole team!!"

The square teams around the wooden platform were two hundred people each. The soldiers in the front four rows were armed with spears. The soldiers in the back were armed with long knives and axes. The only thing these soldiers have in common is that they wear a full set of armor in the Jiaozhou battalion style. Under the cover of this large body armor. You don't have to worry about shooting with a bow and arrow. It can protect against a lot of sword slashing and wooden spear slashing damage.

"After getting out of the formation, go forward two hundred steps. After hearing the sound of the gong, return home. Kill any enemy in front of you. Go out!! ”

Despite the crying and scolding outside. Ke Auman. Garris's order was still clearly received by the four generals gathered at the four corners of the wooden platform.

The four returned to their team with weapons in hand. Swing your arms forward. Stride forward. The soldiers guarding the gate of the square shouted and pulled the cart to both sides. There was no enemy in sight within a hundred paces of the gate. All corpses and seriously wounded.

The four teams of soldiers in all directions marched forward in a neat stride. The spear was already flattened. The big swords and axes in the back were also the outermost Mongol cavalry, and they had already broken away. And the ones in front of the battle are still tangled. The armored infantry had already arrived in front of them.

Spear stab. The Mongol cavalry in front of them screamed and fell off their horses. After entering the formation. The soldiers, armed with large swords and heavy axes, slashed desperately at the horses on the opposite side. Chop off a horse's leg. The whole horse is about to fall to the ground. Cavalry also immediately falls victim to swords and axes.

This was the case with the Song Army's Tiefu Tu that broke the gold soldiers. Knives and axes cut off horses' legs. Then kill the cavalry. More than 20,000 Mongol cavalry had an absolute numerical advantage. But it was already not far from a rout. The two Wanhu who came over were already cavalrymen who couldn't restrain their direct subordinates.

Time is pushed forward by two hours. It is about eighty miles away from Maoerzhuang, Datong Town, Qiangbao. Zhang Kun stood on the beacon tower and watched a person on the grassland in the distance dance the red flag in his hand.

Behind Zhang Kun. The cavalry brigade is ready to ......
